Follow us on Our Journey To Smile ! Join us to say #Enough!

#Enough!

#Enough! is a people’s movement to build a critical mass of borderfree nonviolent relationships and alternatives for a Green, Equal and Nonviolent World Without War, a key goal being the abolition of war.

#Enough!

#Enough wars!

Enough global warming and inequality!

On the 21st of September 2015, the International Day of Peace, we will launch a campaign to abolish war, a campaign called #Enough!

Our hope is to encourage all members of the human family to sign an agreement never to wage war again. In ‘The People’s Agreement to Abolish War’, we’ll work to ban wars person by person. It’s not a petition, because we don’t need permission to live without war. And we won’t wait for the elite, as they’re the ones who keep waging wars.

We’re aware that to abolish war, we must also reverse global warming and inequality, because these crises are driven by the same elite who rule us by force.

We also recognize that abolishing war may take a few generations, and that it’s going to take all of us.

Below is a Flyer for #Enough! and the text for ‘The People’s Agreement to Abolish War’. A multimedia website for #Enough! is under construction – we’ll post an update as we approach the campaign’s launch date on the 21st of September 2015.

On the International Day of Peace, 21st of September 2015, 100 Afghan Street Kids, together with the Afghan Peace Volunteers, will cook & serve a meal for 100 Afghan labourers. This event will launch #Enough!, a long-term people’s movement.

#Enough War and Weapons!

Bey-Nazir, an Afghan street kid, breaks a toy gun.

We opt out of today’s warring systems by building another world of people who agree to ban weapons and war.

We’re tired of wars.

Wars don’t work.

The Afghan Peace Volunteers are ordinary people with no political agenda.

#Enough! is organized entirely by unpaid volunteers.

We’re tired of wars! Almost every Afghan family has lost a loved one to wars. We have no jobs, our air is polluted and our land has been stripped of trees. Poverty, corruption and terrorism are worsening.

We’ve tried to bring peace by waging war for more than 40 years. War has not worked.

So the Afghan Peace Volunteers have formed a community at the Borderfree Nonviolence Community Centre in which weapons and war are banned!

We reject hatred, revenge and killing because we believe that nonviolent friendships can change Afghanistan and the world.

We’ll wear the Borderfree Blue Scarf to remind ourselves that ‘all human beings live under the same blue sky’.

Person by person, we’ll nurture a critical mass of nonviolent friendships to form another world!

( the Agreement will be open for signing from the 16th of September 2015 )

#Enough!

We, the people of the human family, agree to abolish war.

Like you, we Afghans are tired of wars. War costs us everything and resolves nothing. War has increased ‘terrorism’. Wars risk spiraling into our destruction by nuclear weapons.

To abolish war, we form small, local peace circles or communities of two or more persons in which we agree to ban weapons and war and to build nonviolent systems for every aspect of life.

With autonomous alternatives, we no longer need to participate in today’s warring systems. We opt out, and we withhold support and money from any individual or group that uses war.

We begin to heal and live differently. Students learn better, laborers and farmers work better, mothers worry less, and basic human resources are better shared.

We nurture egalitarian relationships with nature and all human beings and connect to form a critical mass that’s free of borders, going beyond our separate causes and working together for a green and equal world without war. A critical mass is crucial as we can’t abolish war without reversing global warming and inequality; these are global crises driven by the same elite who rule over us by force. We abolish war person by person. We won’t wait for the elite, because they’re the ones who keep waging wars.

We make no distinction as to who wages the war, the scale of the war or the individual justifications for the war. We renounce all violence and wars and agree never to resort to war in any circumstance.
